In light of the current global situation, we’ve all had to make significant changes to our daily life. Here at RiverRun, we appreciate that these changes can cause major disruptions to children as they school at home and interactions turn to online formats.

We want to do what we can to support our families during this tough time…we’ve moved the majority of our services online to keep access to those that need it. We are also putting together a series of videos that will provide additional support to parents with advice and activities to do at home.

Please head to our Facebook page to check out our first video with more information!

Given the difficulties that we are all facing together as a society at the moment, it is the decision of RiverRun PTS to move as many sessions as possible to a Telehealth format. We understand that this option may not be viable for all families, in which case options will be discussed directly with those families. For those that can still work towards their goals via a Telehealth format, there are multiple ways this can be achieved. For some families, this may mean the children and young people working directly with Carah via online formats, for others this will mean families working together with Carah online, as well as parents having 1:1 time with Carah.

This document contains more information on how our Telehealth services will be delivered. We thank you for your understanding and support at this difficult time and will keep you updated as soon as any changes need to be made to our policies or procedures for service delivery.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to working with you all soon.

What a crazy year 2019 has been so far! Although I’ve only been back from maternity leave for the past two months, I’m happy to see my caseload grow and excited that this brings an opportunity to help more people in the community.

I’m really exciting to be exploring new relationships with the community through a number of different group programs run in the Macedon Ranges – two based at Bolinda Primary School for their students and one for the wider community based in Romsey.

The two group programs running at Bolinda Primary School, “In the Zone” regulation program and “Shifting Gears” school transition program will assist  students with their engagement in the classroom, through improved regulation skills and a greater understanding of life after Primary School as they transition to Secondary School.

The wider community group program, “Let’s Connect” for ages 10-12, will help the participants engage with each other socially.

Bring on an exciting finish to a crazy year that 2019 has been so far!
